Two South Texas police officers were called out to a home Wednesday for a deer caught in a precarious position — hung by its hind legs, the animal was upside down and waiting for help all night, according to the Victoria Police Department.

"Evidently, this poor fella had spent the night in this precarious position," reads a Facebook post from the Victoria Police Department. "Luckily, Officer Hayles and Horne responded to the call and saved the day."

Two men can be seen working to release the deer from a black iron fence in a video posted by the department. They use a large pair of pliers to remove what looks like part of the fence so the deer could be freed onto the ground.

After getting its hind legs back on the ground, the deer sits for a moment before galloping off.
